dian public affairs, is not to belittle
or ignore it, but to appeal to the
grander, truer ideal of independent
nationality.
No material considerations should
lead us toagive up British connection.
But when our people feel, as they are
rapidly beginning to feel, that we owe
it to ourselves to claim an independ.
ent existence, not because it will pay
us, but because high standard Of pa
triotism demands the assertion Of ma
tional manhood, then sentiment will
be ranged on the side of progress, in
stead of in opposition to it.
These are noble sentiments indeed;
worthiest Of aspirations truly.
May the day sooh come when it
shall be the proud boast of our neigh.
bofs across the line: to be able to say,
each for himself, II am a Canadian
citizen AS grand title as in these
the palmy days Of our beloved repub.
lic-distinguishes and ennobles Amer
ican citizenship.
